STAGING ANGRY BIRD PURIM

The basic background mural should be the straits separating the two kingdoms, Tzipporiah--land of the (angry) birds o the left and Hazeer Shtol (Pig Pen) land of the green pigs on the right. Notice that Tzipporiah has many buildings that resemble bird perches as well as a "sling shot" to launch bird warriors over the straits. Hazeer Shtol has an gtiabt palace towers with the image of King Porcus Hamanus as well as a giant mud bath.

Queen Esther Tavvasnik as well as all the animal characters are c ut out of corrugated cardboard and painted. Paste on many acrylic jewels on her crown, necklace, etc.

The same for King Porcus Hamanus.

General Mordecai Angry Bird.

King Hodusuerus.

The Vizier of Hazeer Shtol--Jaguarus Hutzpidicus.

Livyatan the Sea Monster, is portrayed with three parts visible above the water. The middle and tail sections can be used for many of Livyatan's scenes. The front section will need to be made over for most of his scenes. Make Livyatan shiny. I pasted onto his body diamond shaped scales make of glittery and metallic cardsock

A smaller mural inside the royal palace of Tzipporiah. This scene could be staged with 1/3rd of the curtain opened.

The royal nest of eggs.

Livyatan catches and eats the angry bird warriors sent to retrieve the royal eggs stolen by the green pigs. Make the front part of Livyatan over for this part.

Mah la-a-sot ? Sign. Either make new or save from a previous play.

Yoda is also made of corrugatged cardboard.

Same for Yoda yodea sign.

Make a new cut out of Livyatan's front piece eating Purim pastries. Suspend moving birds from either the top of the stage or on fishing line attached to long, thin dowels.

A new cut out of Livyatan with a stomach ache.

Another new cut out of Livyatan being tormented by Purim noise makers.

A new cut out of Livyatan in a stupor.

Birds fly in a giant net. This could b a moving cut out suspended over the large mural of the straits.

Birds lower net over Livyatan.

Birds fly Livyatan into the deep ocean.

Angry bird warriors are now able to be launched over the straits to Hazeer Shtol. This would probably be most easy simply to show by holding up a large picture of the birds flying.

Green pigs enjoying a leisurely mud bath. This could be shown as a two part scene . The front piece depicting the mud, the background piece showing the Hazeer Shtol palace. The pigs could separate cut out pushed through slits in the front piece. Behind the panel, stage hands could move them in their places--from side to side or up and down.

The battle scene. Was great fun to make and stage. Every angry bird has a pin projecting out ohm its beak. The bellies of the green pigs have inflated, green balloons over their bellies. The bird warriors are suspended by fishing line and dowels. Once their pins penetrate the balloons, hopefully, the balloon will burst and the green pig warrior will drop dead ! Since Porcus Hamanus is larger than his warriors, you might cover his belly with several balloons.

General Mordecai Angry Bird returns the royal eggs to the palace of Tzipporiah. Use the inside palace backdrop and the cut outs of Mordecai, Esther, and Hodusuerus.

This last scene could be optional. The idea came from a teenager and probably would not be appropriate for younger children. If you choose to stage this scene, it might be advisable to make a larger cut out. The top piece of the egg is removed and out comes a variety of bird/pig babies. Oy va-Voy what has Esther Tavvasnik be up to ?
